So shouldn't the headers of files mentionning LGPL 2.1 be updated with LGPL 3 ?
I see the patch only changed the COPYING* files : http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/kimchi-devel/2014-August/006894.html
Thus as most of backend files headers specify LGPL 2.1, the kimchi backend
source is actually still LGPL 2.1 (that's the way it's interpreted in linux
distributions.. file headers prevail)
